Measurement Studio with TFS Build Server

Hello,
I searched for both a FAQ and specific answers, so I hope I'm asking my question in the correct place.
I am using the Enterprise version of Measurement Studio, and want to start a continuous build process using Team Foundation Server. Adding the NI DLLs to my repository and setting the references isn't sufficient. I get the following error:
(CompileLicxFiles target) ->
Properties\licenses.licx(4): error LC0004: Exception occurred creating type 'NationalInstruments.Restricted.AnalysisLicenser, NationalInstruments.Analysis.Enterprise, Version=9.0.35.292, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=18cbae0f9955702a' System.DllNotFoundException: The NI License Manager client DLL was not found. Reinstall NI License Manager.
Hence my question: Is there a best practice or documented method to configure Measurement Studio to compile with the TFS Build Server?
Thank you,
Mike

i recently began using jenkins as a build system (we develop not only in c# but also java, python and php for websites) and installed the full measurement studio on the buildserver. the only problem that occured after that was, that LC.exe sometimes stops working, so i wrote a 10 line autoit script to automatically close that window and now everything works as expected.
maybe you should try to install measurement studio on your buildserver?

Web.config tranformations with TFS Build/Release

Hello,
We have recently started using TFS build/Release Manamement . I wanted to make continuous deployments to Dev and Test environments in one build by using the corresponding web.config transforms (Web.Dev.config and Web.Test.config). Please explain me the process
and can we accomplish it in one build definition?

Hi Pavani1234,
Thanks for your post.
For the configuration file transformations in Release Management, please refer to solution in this article:

SSDT tries to alter timestamp column in TFS build

We're trying to perform an upgrade test against a copy (backup/restore) of our customer database as target. There are some tables with timestamp column in the database. The way we do this is by having a database project with a publish profile targeting
that copy of customer database and then with TFS build server is used to build the database but only to generate a publish script (/p:UpdateDatabase=False) set in the build definition - msbuild argument.
Example of table definition:
CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(6)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);
We would like to have the "Code" column to have CHAR(7), so in the project we modify the table definition:
CREATE TABLE dbo.CodeTable1
(ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Code CHAR(7)
,[Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL);
Expecting SSDT build will generate alter script:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);
To our surprise the generated script was:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN Code CHAR(7);
ALTER TABLE dbo.CodeTable1 ALTER COLUMN [Timestamp] TIMESTAMP NULL;
Which will cause error when the script is executed: "Cannot alter column 'TIMESTAMP' to be data type timestamp."
Why is SSDT generating the change script for that timestamp column??
We then try a local build in VS, the issue is not happening, SSDT correctly generates alter script only for the "Code" column to CHAR(7);
Both local machine and TFS Build server are having VS 2013 Update 4- SSDT 12.0.50318.0 installed.
As we tried to troubleshoot further, we found out that it seems it only happens on a restored database from a backup copy of our customer database. It doesn't happen for databases created by SSDT build from scratch or that we manually created. We've tried make
sure all database properties are the same as the database that correctly built. But still if the target database is the one we restored from a customer's copy, SSDT always tries to alter timestamp column (on server build).
Anyone have same experience?
I have posted a bug in ms connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/1266051
Thanks!

Thanks Paul!
However, it doesn't happen when I build the database project locally or if the target database was created by SSDT (or manually for that matter). The issue happens when I change the target database to the one we restored from a backup copy of our customer's
database and run the build through our TFS build server.
So I thought there must be something different with the restored database (which causes SSDT to alter timestamp column) as opposed to the one SSDT/manually created (which doesn't alter the timestamp column). Maybe there is difference on database property/settings?
Whatever it is, I just couldn't find it.
The only thing we will do now as workaround is to get db schema creation script from that of customer's database and run that script to re-create the database from scratch and use that as target database instead, as luck would have it, the issue would be
gone.
Still, why the heck SSDT tries to alter timestamp column in that specific case and not in other case as described above??

Could TFS 2013 build service connect to TFS 2010 server?

I am using the TFS 2010 since 2011, both TFS 2010 Server and TFS 2010 build service are installed on a separate Windows 2008 R2 x64 Server, I have application written in C# and .net 4.0 framework.
Recently, I want to upgrade the application to .net framework 4.5. I installed a Windows 2012 R2 x64 server and installed a TFS 2013 build service (since TFS 2010 build service doesn't support Windows 2012 R2 x64 server); however, the TFS
2013 build service seem to be not support the TFS 2010 server.
I need the old TFS 2010 build service to build the bug fix .net framework 4.0 (with other old dependency library) package for production and I need a new TFS 2013 build service to build the next version .net framework 4.5 (with upgrade dependency library) application.
Both new and old TFS build service have to be co-exist.
Does anyone know if it is possible to let TFS 2013 build service work with TFS 2010 server?
Or any suggestion on this scenario?

Hi Panco,
Based on your description, you can use TFS 2010 build service to build the .net framework 4.0 and .net framework 4.5 applications. You need to install the corresponding dependencies on the bulid machine before building. And also build on the build machine
locally make sure you can build successfully locally before TFS build.
Since you already set up TFS 2013 build service, you can configure it to a team project collection in TFS 2010 to have a try. As far as I know, seems it's fine to do the building. If you have other considerations or concerns, please elaborate
more details about your scenario.

Multilingual App Toolkit fails with TFS ready only files

I have added Multilingual App Toolkit to a ASP.NET web form application, in this application is used TFS for version control.
My problem is that every time the application is build Multilingual App Toolkit need to update the files, but it does not check out files before compile and so generates an error:
"Update xliff build failed, one or more errors occurred, multilingual app toolkit build completed with errors"
If I check out the files he can build normally.
What can I do about it?

Hi Elton,
I'd like to know the reason that Multilingual App Toolkit need to update the files during build process, and how do you check out the files.
If you have to update files, you can update the files and check in then do the building. Please confirm whether you can build successfully on your local machine. You have to build succeed with MSBuild on your local machine before you can build with TFS build
since TFS build use MSBuild as its default compiler. Also build on your build server directly to see if there any errors.
If the issue still exist after taking above methods, please elaborate more details about your scenario, including TFS version and reproduce steps etc.

TFS Build - Code Analysis is not happening.

I have the following issue with TFS build system.
<o:p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium;line-height:normal;"> </o:p>
Although I have configured the projects in my solutions to run the static code analysis during build, and I have created a build definition to build these solutions, I’m unable
to get the corresponding static code analysis report in the build summary. This is also the case if I set Perform Code Analysis to Always in the build definition. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Regards
Hem

Hi Hem,
Thanks for your reply.
You’re using TFS 2013 Update 4?
Do you mean that you have installed the VS 2013 Premium on your build agent machine, and if you manually build your solution using this VS 2013 Premium on build agent machine, the code analysis result show correctly in build result?
Please follow the steps in document to check your solution and build definition settings:

TFS & VS 2012: Passing a TFS Build variable in as a custom property to MS Build

I think this is a simple question but I can't find the answer. TFS Build server is 2012, using VS 2012. I would like to pass the value of
TF_BUILD_BUILDDIRECTORY to MSBuild as a build argument. I assume this is a 2012 tf variable and not 2013. In a custom TF build template I am using the variable BinariesDirectory to copy all project output into their own directories.
I am attempting to do this by setting the MSBuild Arguments setting of the Build definition to /p:tfs_Binaries_Directory="$(TF_Build_BinariesDirectory)". I assume that this is the correct variable name for it in 2012. Am I
missing something?
I want to use this variable in a Post Build event of the solution being built to copy out some additional data that needs to be deployed as part of the build.
Thanks,
John Sheppard

Hi John,
Thanks for your post.
As far as I know TFS 2012 not support TFS 2013 Build environment variables.

Universe Builder with MS SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio - Bridges

Hi all!
I am new to BO and i'm trying to create a universe from a sql database i created with MS SQL Server Management Studio.
I noticed that there isn't any bridge option for sql database.
Am i suppose to do some kind of conversion or is there an option that i left out?
Oh and i'm currently using BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Edge Series Universe Builder.
Thanks
Jazreeel

Hello Jazreeel/ALL,
Could you please share what you did to build your Universe from MS Sql? I am at that same roadblock now myself. I know I can use Designer to manually connect to the SQL DB and painstakingly set it up table by table, but is there not an easier way, where Universe Builder or Designer can read the full database schema and and build the Universe from there?
SAP support has told me that the Designers auto features <Detect Joins, Links, etc> should not be used in a production enviroment, that I need to add all the tables <747 of them> manually and then have a Developer one by one create all the Joins, Links, Cardinalities, resolve the loops etc. That is very teadious to do, and makes maintaining the Universe a nightmare when different software versions change our database tables from time to time.
There's got to be an easier way, I just can't find it. Like you, I instantly felt that Builder should have a SQL bridge to be able to read what it needs from the SQL DB and build the Universe. However, that option does not seem to exist.
Appreciate any help!!
Carl

Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server in Essbase studio

I am using Essbase Studio Release 11.1.2.1.00 for developing XOLAP cubes and deploying them on to Essbase server .
I am getting the below Error while deploying the cube onto Essbase server.

Essbase Studio - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server

Hi all,
I am new to Hyperion and am having trouble deploying what seems a simple cube in Essbase Studio.
My environment is Windows 2003, EPM 11.1.1.2, SQL Server 2000.
I have the following two issues which may be related.
1. The EPM System Diagnostic tool says that Hyperion Foundation cannot connect to the SQL database.
Error:
Failed: Connection to database
Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: <server name: <server name>
Recommended Action:
Every other EPM application is able to connect to the database. I have tried re-configuring Foundation Services and checking the config files and nothing looks wrong. I would appreciate advice on how to fix this.
2 In Essbase Studio, I was able to connect to the database where the source data is, build the minischema and create dimensions and measures. But when I run the cube deployment wizard I get the error:
Message: Failed to deploy Essbase cube
Caused By: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (Time)
Caused By: Cannot incremental build. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
…ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.]
I have checked the DSN as well as the connections set up within Studio, and they are all able to connect to the database. I am using the admin user for the Essbase server and have created a different user for the databases where the data resides and the shared services database. I tried using the same user all the way through and this didn’t help.
Can you please advise what else I can check or change to resolve this issue.
Also, can you work in EAS with cubes that are created in Studio? I tried looking at it and I got an error that the rule file couldn’t be accessed because it was created in Studio.
After the above failures, I tried creating a cube in EIS, with mixed success. I have been able to load the members and data without errors. But when I try to view the data in the cube, I am seeing field names for the measures instead of the data itself.
...Definitely more questions than answers at this stage of my learning.
Regards
Michelle

Michelle,
I don't know if you found an answer to you question after so many months but I was hoping I could be helpful.
The issue you are experience happens often when the dimension that you are getting an error on, in this case TIME, is built from a snowflake lineage and there is a bad foreign key reference. This dimension is most like high-up in your outline build process for Essbase Studio and this prevents the build from happening usually early on.
Check your logs also. They are in Hyperion > Products > logs > essbase > essbasestudio.
You can also make your logs more verbose by setting a configuration variable in the essbase studio server.properties file but that should only be used for debugging as it really saps performance.
And, yes, you can of course edit an Essbase Studio deployed cube in EAS. However, any changes you make to the cube in EAS are subject to being wiped-out upon the next Essbase Studio deployment of that Applicaion/Database combo.
If you want to provide more detail, screenshots, etc. I would be glad to help where I can.
Cheers,
Christian

How to work in RH9 when project is integrated with TFS and TFS server is down

My RoboHelp 9 project is integrated with TFS/Visual Studio. The server went down yesterday and won't be back up until late today.
If I open the project locally (rather than from Version Control), how do I eventually get the latest files (those that I've worked on locally) into Version Control?
Thank you.

Hi,
I use the following method:
1.       Open the project and disconnect from source control.
2.       Modify any files you need. Be aware that when you add/rename/remove/move files, the RoboHelp control files are modified too. (.apj and .fpj)
3.       When TFS is up, check out the files using team explorer. Do NOT overwrite local files. (Make a backup first.)
4.       Using TFS, check in all modified files. Do NOT check in the XPJ file. If you do, the project will lose its connection with source control.
5.       Thrash the local project.
6.       Get the latest version from the server.
Be aware that this requires that you know what you’re doing. Especially when control files are modified. When you only modify the content of existing topics and check the existing topic in, you should be fine.
Greet,
Willam
